The blood sacrifices have brought rain to Demonside, but across the void, the Warlock College of Vinland is still storing and gathering magic, heedless of the warnings of the international magical community. The underground is full of warlocks who disagree with the college, but do they care about wizards and demons or only about snatching power?
With a foot in each world, Angus is no longer sure whom he can trust. The demons don’t trust humans, and even though he is learning more magic, he will never be one of them. He is human and only tolerated. Some demons would be happy to slit his throat. It’s only because his demon is powerful in his own right that Angus is alive.
Saka only has a year to prove that Angus’s people can change and that the magic taken will be rebalanced, but the demons want action. His affection for Angus is clouding his judgment and weakening his position in the tribe. Time is running out, and he must make a choice.

Rogue in the Making is book two of Studies in Demonology series.
This book starts right at the end of book 1 (Warlock in Training).

The program between the Underground and The Demon side had started. Ten wizards were sent to the Demon side to learn natural magic. But the Underground isn’t better than the college, and they threaten Terrance’s life to keep Angus in line, they want to spy on the Demon side and gain the powers retained by the college. Meanwhile, the Demons start to think that a war is necessary and humans need to bleed for them.
Angus is confused and lost. He doesn’t know who he is anymore. A human among the demons, a demon among the humans? He loves two men, Saka the demon mage, and Terrance the human warlock. Angus can’t choose between them, but he needs to find a way to protect them and to save both worlds.

Saka is also completely lost because of his feelings for Angus. He’s in love with Angus, a human. Mages don’t have family. Their tribe is first in their life. Saka, at first, rejects his feelings, but how he can be a good mage and teacher if he lies to himself. Besides, the future of his world is more important than his love life and he needs to find a way to save his world and have Angus for himself.
I really loved this book, as much as book 1. The author gives us a great sequel.

The evolution in the story matches the evolution with the characters. We follow Saka and Angus in their journey. We follow their evolutions, as wizard/mage, but also as lovers. They are a strong couple, a unit, who trust each other and protect each other. They don’t agree on everything, but they have the same goal, saving their world.

I loved the plot of the book. It’s the following of book 1, but it’s more developed, and we learn more about Vinland (Angus’s country), the human world, and the demon side too. This book introduces us to more characters, to a more developed plot with a lot of mystery too that we want to discover.

The author did a fabulous job with this book. We’re completely hooked into the story, wanting to know more, and trying to find a viable solution for their world. The end of the book opens a lot of possibilities, intrigue, and hope for book three. I can’t wait to read it, to see how the plot and the characters will evolve.

I recommend this book. It can’t be read as a standalone, so you need to start the journey from the beginning but it’s worth it.

4 OtpimuMMs for The Mage, his apprentice, and their tribe.
